Buying Tips

Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .

1948 Montana Farmer-Stockman Jeep & Truck Ads

UPDATE: I mistakenly list a September 1949 Ad as a September 1948 ad. I removed that, so now there are only seven ads on this post.

Willys-Overland ran a series of Universal Jeep and Truck ads in the Montana Farmer-Stockman newspaper through 1948. The ads for the Universal Jeep focused on farming and ranching and appear most, but not all months (The paper is archived at the Library of Congress and appears to have been a bi-monthly publication). Below are seven ads I could find. In 1949, the number dropped to only 4 ads.

For many years, my father had a 1948 calendar hanging over his workbench in the basement, hung there for decades, it had a picture of the CJ2A pulling the cultivating implement as shown in the first picture, strange but true story, after he died in 1991, the calendar disappeared. I guess he took it with him. Another spooky post from, yes you guessed it, PIZZA MIKE

Doug: They probably won’t print out all that well, given they are copies of newsprint, and not the best copies at that.

I’d be happy to share the hi-res images I have and you can try printing them. Or, you can download the high resolution PDFs using the link above each item. email me if you have questions (d @ deillers.com … no spaces around the @)
